One of the greatest things about Fringe Festivals is that over the last 35 years they have been the source of thousands of brand new Canadian plays. As you may know, brand new Canadian plays are my favourite. The plays always come to their audience in various stages of development, which was consistent with my experience on Day 3 of Halifax Fringe. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Harbourtown by Mark Foster. The Waiting Room (6040 Almon). <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Taboo Theatre<\/a> presents Mark Foster\u2019s new play Harbourtown<\/i>. Set near to the Apocalypse, in the face of a Climate Change nightmare, we are introduced to five people all connected to a woman named Lorena, who has been dead for ten years. Her death, however, even in the midst of a crumbling civilization, has a powerful influence on the others that persists even a decade later. <\/span><\/p>\n

Harbourtown is very well written. I was immediately drawn into the story, I was curious about how the characters were interconnected and I cared about their fate, and the fate of the city. The chaotic Fascism that the doomed city has descended into is created vividly, both in Foster\u2019s writing and in the constant sense of unease and urgency that Lara Lewis creates with her direction. The actors bring their characters to life with nuance. Stand out performances include Amanda Mullally as Tom, someone who has been brokenhearted and left to do whatever it takes to survive in a city of despair, and Joel Diamond, who plays a bureaucrat careening towards a terrible reckoning. <\/span><\/p>\n

I assumed the harbour town alluded to in the play\u2019s title was Halifax, and wondered, if that was the case, if the play might be served by adding specific references to landmarks we know, which may further connect the audience with the immediacy of the story. I was also curious about the choice of props and costumes, some of which seemed to be closer to belonging in the past than the future, which made me curious whether the play was in fact set in the future, or whether these choices were alluding to another layer of the crumbling infrastructure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In all, Harbourtown<\/em> is a very strong Fringe offering from Taboo Theatre. It leaves the audience with lots to think about; it\u2019s intelligent, entertaining, and just a little bit frightening.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Voyeur: A Summoning.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>By Brandon Lorimer. The Old Company Theatre (2202 Gottingen Street)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

brandon lorimer<\/p>\n

Obviously I wasn\u2019t in the room when Daniel MacIvor was creating his very first solo performances, so I don\u2019t know exactly what that would have been like, but Brandon Lorimer\u2019s Brandon Voyeur: A Summoning<\/i> conjured imaginings for me of a twenty-four year old MacIvor, if MacIvor were really into David Bowie.<\/span><\/p>\n

The theme of Lorimer\u2019s solo show is the question of where the line is drawn between a person and a persona, a creator and a creation, and does either matter if the art is not being consumed by the masses? Lorimer is an incredibly eloquent and poetic writer, his concepts are cerebral, intelligent and very creative, and his word choices are often succulent. As an actor, he brings 110% of himself, throwing himself into \u201cthe strange, the dark and the dreary.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Voyeur: A Summoning<\/i> is a strange offering, it\u2019s less linear than MacIvor; not everyone will \u201cget it,\u201d for some it won\u2019t be the type of theatre they enjoy, but I think those who get it will love it. It\u2019s the type of show that a second viewing likely continues to illuminate the concept for an audience. <\/span><\/p>\n

The play has a sharp and dramatic soundscape, it mixes robotic voice overs with music, and Lorimer sings original songs, which he characterizes as \u201cmusic nobody listens to.\u201d The theme of being an artist whose work doesn\u2019t sell is a recurring theme. At time the balance between the programmed sound and Lorimer\u2019s singing is a bit off and it\u2019s hard to hear his lyrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Voyeur<\/i> is a deeply unique piece of theatre from a young theatre artist who is continually finding new ways to tell stories, and using language in fun and creative ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, hell! The Words of Dorothy Parker. Adapted by Dan Roy and Colleen MacIsaac.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m embarrassed to admit that I was not at all familiar with Dorothy Parker\u2019s work before today, so I owe Dan Roy and Colleen MacIsaac a giant debt of gratitude because since seeing their hilarious play Ah, hell! The Words of Dorothy Parker<\/i>, I\u2019m now on the hunt for all of Parker\u2019s books. <\/span><\/p>\n

Roy and MacIsaac adapted this short play from a series of Parker\u2019s poems, sharp quips, and three short stories, The Telephone Call, The Waltz,\u00a0<\/i>and The Garter<\/i>, turning them into three monologues for three actors to portray Parker at a different stage of her life. Instead of having the monologues performed consecutively, each one is broken up into sharp, brisk scenes, so all three stories unfold together. This is done beautifully.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Christine Daniels plays Dorothy in The Garter, <\/i>a woman resigned to the end of her life because of a broken garter. Heather Beresford plays Dot in The Telephone Call<\/i>, a woman at her wit\u2019s end waiting for the phone to ring, and Schoel Strang plays Dottie, a woman who hates her inability to express her true feelings to a certain man\u2019s face. All three are magnificent, although Strang is particularly hilarious in the depth of her rage. <\/span><\/p>\n

The play is directed by Ali House, which has the ladies sitting next to one another, yet obviously inhabiting her own unique place and time. Movement is limited, but the play doesn\u2019t grow stagnant, and the props and costumes root us beautifully in a vibrant ambiance of the first half of the 20th Century in New York City. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, hell! The Words of Dorothy Parker<\/em> is the most perfect show I\u2019ve seen so far this year at Halifax Fringe. I recommend it to everyone and now I\u2019m eager to get my hands on the complete works of Dorothy Parker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I Want to Come Home by Mariel Kathryn Hunter. Old Pool Hall (6050-70 Almon Street).<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mariel Kathryn Hunter<\/span><\/p>\n

Mariel Kathryn Hunter writes a play for the Fundy Fringe Festival about leaving Saint John to go to Acting School in Vancouver, struggling to book any gigs there, and then returning to debut a new show at the Fundy Fringe Festival. Obviously, this play within a play structure can work well (just look at title of show<\/i>), and Hunter has an endearing concept about going away to \u201cmake it big,\u201d and then having to face the reality of coming home, and realizing that just because a city is small, doesn\u2019t inherently make working there a failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

I Want to Come Home <\/i>would benefit a lot from some specificity. Hunter relies almost exclusively on tired cliches about acting, theatre school, and being an artist, when I think audiences would find the reality of what those things are really like far more interesting. Hunter spends much of the show taking us through a year of \u201cActing School,\u201d but never tells us which acting school she attends. In my experience, a day in Dalhousie\u2019s Theatre Department could not be more different than a day at Sheridan College, and I\u2019m sure Hunter\u2019s school, whether real or fictionalized, would be completely different, yet again\u2014 and it\u2019s in those differences, in what makes that school, those students, those professors, those classes unique- where the interesting elements of the story emerge. Similarly, Hunter presents herself as small-town girl in a larger city, but again relies heavily on stereotypes, rather than grounding us in a real story about real, specific characters who are growing and changing and learning. There is one truly authentic moment in the play, where Mariel realizes something tragic about her mother and I wanted the whole play to be more of that. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hunter has strong stage presence, and there is certainly a beating heart in the centre of this play. I\u2019d like to see it continue to be developed and workshopped because I think the story Hunter is telling warrants a more three dimensional world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bubble Trans Pride and Holding Hands With the Awkward. Hanlon McGregor & Syrus Marcus Ware and Hanlon McGregor and Mihaly Szabados.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bubble Trans Pride gets a workshopped production at Halifax Fringe. I love the story of this play so much. It is an important story, it has a timely and complex message, and it launches off a lot of conversations that have been happening since Black Lives Matter held their protest during Toronto Pride in 2017. The play hinges on a new relationship between Bob and Tyler. Their relationship quickly goes South when Tyler realizes that Bob has been using his position at Smash Bar (a space traditionally designated for gay men only) to violently keep his friend Jill (a trans woman) out. As Bob and Tyler fight about trans rights, Tyler (who is black) realizes that Bob also has some racist concepts about how the world works, how Pride should function, and what it means to be a gay Canadian. The story here is clear, the politics, and the message the play wants to send is also very clear. <\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge with the current version of Bubble Trans Pride<\/i> is twofold. Firstly, the characters are largely the mouthpieces for their politics, with little else about them firmly established. I\u2019d like to see, for example, what made Bob and Tyler really fall in love with one another. What is their relationship like before they begin to have in-depth conversations about ideology? At the moment Bob is extremely overt in being a transphobic, racist, arrogant, moronic, aggressive asshole. While these people do exist, of course, it doesn\u2019t seem plausible that Tyler would have ever had any reason to answer this guy, let alone fall in love with him. Also, it\u2019s difficult for audience members to connect or relate to Bob because his behaviour is so extreme. Transphobia and Racism are both extremely prevalent in our society in more nuanced ways, in ways that partners and friends often overlook and explain away, and I think it\u2019s in dramatizing these mico-aggressions that people are able to recognize behaviour that they themselves and others they know are guilty of. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are also a lot of very interesting and important aspects of the plot that are alluded to or periphery to the main focus of the play, which I think deserve to have a more central role in the action. There\u2019s a horrifying moment in the play when Tyler\u2019s daughter calls him concerned about something she saw on television- I want to see that scene with the police officers play out onstage. Jill is the most interesting character, and we only ever see her on video chat, I want Jill in the room with me. I think McGregor would benefit from writing more of the scenes with the action unfolding, rather than simply having the characters explain to someone else what happened. We\u2019re far more invested when we see it, and the subject matter of this play deserves to have us as invested as possible. Similarly, in Holding Hands With the Awkward, <\/i> McGregor\u2019s short film, <\/i>there are so many moments that Dan describes that I would much rather see dramatized. <\/span><\/p>\n

I hope the creative team continue to workshop this piece. It has so much potential and it is a story that is needed in the Canadian theatre. I look forward to seeing it again in a future incarnation.<\/span><\/p>\n
